Listen "Senate Budget Showdown: Chuck Schumer vs. AOC"
Episode Synopsis
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss Senator Chuck Schumer's decision not to oppose the GOP spending bill in order to avoid a government shutdown, and the angry responses to Senator Schumer from some of his fellow Democrats. Also, judges rule that Trump didn’t follow the law when firing probationary employees, but confirms the executive branch’s authority to reduce the federal workforce if done in accordance with existing rules and regulations. They also talk about the Trump administration's withdrawal of its nominee to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and they look at Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s defense of deporting Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who has been illegally detained by ICE. Plus, President Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center and the broader implications of the Right’s asserting itself in American culture and entertainment. Then finally, Tom Bevan interviews Senator Eric Schmidt (R- MO) about his plans to end what he calls “a shadowy network of NGOs, tech groups and governments working to the censor the Left’s enemies”.
